- Bonide Captain Jack's Deadbug Brew Ready-to-Use Spray, 32 oz Outdoor Insecticide and Mite Killer for Organic Gardening

Got my thrips under control! Sprayed every plant every 6 days for a month and used bonide systemic granules in all of my plants soil. I'm no longer finding any thrips damage on my plants. Unfortunately it didn't work for spider mites, you need a miticide for them. But I can say this works for thrips!

Amazing as always! A forever fan of it ☺️

works great for mealy bugs

I’ve had really good luck with Captain Jack’s for almost everything in my garden. It’s been especially helpful with the usual Florida pests that love to go after my plants. The only real downside for me is that it doesn’t touch mealybugs at all. I was hoping it would make a dent, but no change, which was a bummer. Still, for everything else it’s become a staple in my plant cabinet, so I keep buying it.

This stuff is miraculous! I have fought thrips for a couple years...used Bonide Captain Jack's Neem oil but they kept coming back (and almost killed my Fiddle Leaf Figs)...could not get rid of them until I discovered this Deadbug Brew! My plants look healthy and the spray has not harmed any of my MANY variety of plants. I have not seen any return in more than 4 months, with regular sprays. Also, when I received my bottle, the sprayer didn't work and they immediately replaced the bottle. Fantastic customer service for a fantastic product. HIGHLY recommend!

Works EXCELLENT to eliminate mealy bugs on citrus trees! My lime tree was infested with these white things all over it. I Googled “what are all these white things all over my lime tree?” Top of the search results revealed what they were by also providing photos of what they looked like! So I Googled “what works best to eliminate mealy bugs?” Captain Jack’s Deadbug Brew was at the top of the list. Although the label doesn’t list mealy bugs, I took a gamble and bought a bottle. I sprayed the entire tree, making sure I sprayed every mealy bug I saw. The product appears to kill instantly, but I decided to give it a day to be sure. The local breeze was enough to blow off all but about six. Today is the second day after treating, and all of the mealy bugs are gone from my lime tree. It took about a third of a bottle for the first treatment, so I’d say it was well worth the money! I used outside, and I didn’t notice any odor at all Highly recommend this product for mealy bugs on citrus trees!

I like that it’s ready to use, but it didn’t work on my plants or pests. My cucumbers and veggies still got eaten.

Had a bad spider mite infestation suddenly break out in my organic indoor garden. My plan was to use this non-toxic product and also wash the plants in the bathtub with the hand sprayer to dislodge remaining eggs, mites, mite poop and other debris when I had time. I sprayed with this Jack’s product, thoroughly soaking the bottom of the leaves. Then again a week later. Having had mites before, I was expecting a multi vector campaign using insecticidal soap, neem oil, washing etc, but to my surprise all the mites were dead and gone after the second application. So I didn’t have to wash or do anything else! The spinosad works like magic! Since then I have added a humidifier and fans, and I occasionally spray the plants with insecticidal soap with some cedarwood oil to repel and kill future invaders. No problems since. Highly recommend to those with spider mite induced PTSD like me.
